The following inspiration was a result of a conversation with my friend Mario. Enjoy!
“Mario, The Flower Guy, where did you find the inspiration for the event we created at the beautiful historic Gruene Estate?”
“Walking the grounds of the Gruene Estate Venue for the first time, I was in awe. The lush green landscape, the blue skies and glowing yellow sun just made for the perfect setting to this beautiful venue.
I was, at that point, inspired! You know that saying, “When life gives you lemons”? Well in this case, when life gives you lemons, you create a beautiful summer time wedding!
For certain, the beautiful blue sky inspired all the gorgeous hues of blue florals that were incorporated into all the arrangements, and I couldn’t forget the glowing sunlight, which is why I complemented the floral with fresh lemons. Lemons, of course, are a citrus fruit with thick and fragrant skin, but not many people know that lemons are a symbol of longevity, unity, love and happiness. That is something I not only wish upon my clients but everyone who walks into my life.”
Our photographer, Brandy with Firefly Photography, worked her magic capturing every important moment of our day. You will enjoy viewing her creative perspective as we share her work.
